my 1979 450 SEL AMG

here is my 450 SEL with some AMG mods on it, not to keen on doing the side skirts and finding them would be next to impossible. i don't come to this section that often because i usually go to w116.org.

Mods:
-Euro Bumpers
-AMG Front Valence
-Amg Rear Badge
-AMG 16 inch Pentas
-AMG steering wheel
-Dash Cap
- Remove Cats
-Becker Mexico

Things I have yet to do:

-Find AMG rear Tail
-Install euro Headlights
-Fix Leaky Fuel Distributor
-lower car about 1.5 to 2 inches
- Install a hose to route cold air into Intake
-Find AMG exhaust / Make a replica AMG exhaust
-Possible buy and install "new modern" Becker Mexico

That is a beautiful transformation of the car. All you need now are the Euro lights for the exterior.

Does Hawaii allow you to remove the catlytic converters?

Great job! I suggest definitely the Euro Lights and black out the front grille.
